The
Golden Thread Gallery is Northern Ireland's leading international
contemporary art space, rooted in the local. The gallery offers
residents and visitors to Belfast a diverse programme of high
quality contemporary art exhibitions and participatory events.
As
one of Northern Irelands largest visual arts venues the Golden
Thread Gallery acts as a platform for a mix of the very best
international and local artists, hosting six large-scale exhibitions
in the main gallery spaces and twelve exhibitions in its project
space. The project space openings are not to be missed and
always take place at 6.00pm on the first Thursday of the month
as part of Belfast's Late Night Art.
Outreach
is at the core of the gallery's activities, working off-site
and in partnership with a wide range of communities and groups,
devising challenging and innovative projects in addition to
providing a range of contextual activities such as artists'
talks, gallery tours and workshops. The gallery also publishes
exhibition catalogues and books exploring further contemporary
practices.
Over
the last ten years the Golden Thread Gallery has established
an excellent reputation for creating exhibitions exploring
art from the North Ireland, delivering exhibitions to international
audiences through its touring programme. The gallery has delivered
numerous curated exhibitions to venues across the UK and Ireland,
Europe, North America, China and more recently Taiwan.
In
recent years the Golden Thread Gallery has been working with
a number of artists living and working in Northern Ireland
to create a "not-for-profit" form of artists' representation
and has championed their work at national and international
art fairs, such as the London Art Fair, Berliner Liste and
Scope New York as well as establishing a dedicated in-house
sales room.
